Rates

Private and Group Small Animal Moving

TLC~Pet~Transport Rates for Group Pet Transports (several pets, different families, same van) are figured by the size of your pet and how much space they occupy in our van (carrier dimensions cost chart is below) plus a gas surcharge of .15 cents per mile of your total transport miles door to door (zip code to zip code). This is the current gas surcharge rate as of September 1st, 2017. As gas prices change, so will the percentage rate. Adjustments are made the first of every month. There is also a 2.9 credit card processing fee. Personal checks are accepted with no credit card fee.

The cost for tolls may be applied to Private Pet Transports located in the northeast.

We also offer a 10% multi Pet Transport discount for families with 3 or more pets. And a 10% active military discount with ID.

Rescue organizations will receive a substantial discount.
And we thank you for adopting a homeless dog or cat.

Private family transports are figured by the round trip mile starting at our Crittenden, KY office.
Please call Us at the Office Phone 859-428-1677.

Below you will find our cost chart that we use to figure the rate for a group transport.
The crate dimensions are listed along with the price.

To figure up a quote, add the cost for crate space plus .15 cents a mile from zip code to zip code together. We do not charge tax or for tolls with a group transport. There will be no extra charges.

Example: Let’s say your total miles from pickup to delivery are 800 miles. You multiply the 800 miles by .15 cents = $120. Then add that to the crate size that your pet, let’s say a poodle (17 inches tall), will need. So that size crate (space) is $520 + $120 = $640. So, $640 would be the total for your transport (tax and tolls included). The chart below will help you determine the size crate you will need for your pets. We will supply all crates needed for transport.

Please measure your dogs from their paws to the top of their head while standing, making sure to allow them enough room to stand and turn around easily.** The height is the most important. Get that right and the length and width will allow for more than ample enough room for your dog.

Your cats can ride in the same crate together at only $100 for each additional cat. Sharing a crate can cut your cost down considerably. (your cats do not share crates with other customers). Of course, we will use a larger size carrier. Each crate will be large enough to hold a full size litter box and allow your cat ample room for walking around..
Our sturdy soft canvas crates have zippers. Which makes it impossible for a cat to dart out of it’s crate while your driver attends to their needs.

When traveling cross country, we prefer that you order at least one size larger carrier, as your pets’ comfort is our major concern.

We supply everything that is needed for transport: all crates, bedding, bowls, litter boxes and litter, collars, leashes and bottled water. All you need to furnish is your pet’s food and a Health Certificate, This Health Certificate should state that your pet is healthy enough to travel and list their current vaccinations and also Rabies. Titer tests are accepted. It must be signed by a licensed veterinarian. It is valid for 30 days.

Canine Campers are soft sided crates made of sturdy canvas. They have mesh windows all around that have flaps that roll up or can be left down for your pets’ comfort. They also have a fleece bottom. They are very cozy. They cannot be stacked on top of each other. These crates are luxurious and allow for major air flow because of their ‘floor to ceiling” windows.

We offer these crates to you because they are so much more comfortable for your pet’s transport. But please be aware that if your animal rips or tears their crate during their Pet Transport, you will be responsible and reimbursement will be needed.

We also offer the vari kennel hard crates and wire crates for our more rambunctious passengers. So if you think your pet would be more suitable to travel in these type carriers, please let us know.

All of our crates are disinfected with Triple quick after each use. Triple quick is a powerful cleaner that kills all known viruses and bacteria, including Parvo, Coronavirus, Canine Adenovirus, Reovirus, Leptospirosis and Parainfluenza. New bedding is used for each transport. You may supply your own bedding if you would like.

** In accordance with the rules and regulations of the USDA, and the humane policies outlined by the Independent Pet & Animal Transport Association (IPATA), all animals must have ample room to stand and turn around easily in their carriers.
